There are not much tests about firmware or user interface. Of course, testers do like the one or other feature, but in general we look closer to specs (how many fps?) than to usability (how do I set up this bloody drive mode?).
Personal preferences and experiences play a role. When we already worked with other systems we know some special features which were helpful or well thought or both. And moving to another system makes us miss this specific single part of a bigger package, so we know how it can help when well done and we also can conclude to the rest of the software when it's badly or not at all implemented.
Before Pentax DSLRs I bought my way through Sony F505 until F828. This made me feeling attracted to any movable display and some other features. The menu was short and simple, not too bad. Making the switch later from Pentax to Nikon, I didn't miss anything specific. Or I already forgot. Coming from Nikon to Fuji, I do miss a lot practical things. That reduces my fun using the camera although the pictures do satisfy me and others. But these others do not see the pictures I could have taken with a better thought and made menu.
